Cygnus Q'ol Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Wind Chill is currently 25 below zero. Picnic anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 We haven't put our grill away yet...of course, dislodging it from the snow and ice at this point is nigh on impossible. My kids actually have a snow-day due to the extreme cold. I imagine they don't want kids walking thru - 25 to -35 F windchills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Yeah, what's the point? You're gonna grill later in the week anyway, right? It was very hard getting the grill started last night. (kinda like the Bear's offense) Unfortunately, the steaks, prawns, and kabobs were the best thing about the evening. ...oh, and that merlot wasn't bad either. It's dangerously cold today. I'm usually one to joke about the winter, being from Wisconsin and all, but it's no joke today. It's funny how gas prices increased last week. I have a feeling they'll drop once it warms up a bit. Supply and demand, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yep, Jimbo, the family, and I, and probably Cygnus and Kitty, have battened down the hatches for another blizzard--blizzard warnings are up until 6p tomorrow. Right now we're getting about 2-3 inches of snowfall per hour. We're expecting 12-16 inches, on top of the 4 or 5 we got yesterday.... Yes, I did buy bread this time, but that's just cause we were out at home. Also bought creamer for the coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish.Stapler Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I hate you all, I never get snow days. One of the few downsides to living in Phoenix half the year (Colorado the other half, I love both states dearly ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 We're supposed to get a storm tonight through tomorrow night - but nothing happened yet. I've been off school all week for winter break, yet I would still love to have a Monday snow day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Rhett Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I put the siding on this about two weeks ago. The weather was pretty terrible then. It was about 7 degrees every day I worked on it without the wind chill factored in. It's no negative 70 degree weather but still. It sucked hard.

Fish.Stapler Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Ever try to shovel 16 inches of snow? Seriously not fun. Actually, I totally empathize with you. I spend a lot of my year in Colorado as well, the blizzards this year + a HUGE, 60 degree uphill driveway (it's a house in the mountain that unfortunately happens to be built on TOP of a mountain) = LOTS of shoveling .

Cygnus Q'ol Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Actually, I would have preferred snow to the wet, sloppy, slush that we received. I actually pulled something in my back Saturday pushing water around. (getting too old for this stuff) My snowblower was rendered useless. Then on top of that I had to go home after shoveling slush on Sunday and watch that terrible loss to Ohio ST. UHHHHG !!! We'll meet them again, perhaps in the Big Ten Tourney.

Jae Onasi Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I was surprised when I woke up Sun am, looked out the window, and said "Where the heck is the snow? Honey, did you shovel already?" "No, I haven't been out at all--we got ice." I'd rather have 8 inches of snow than 1/4 inch of ice. If the storm had tracked about 50 miles south, though, we wouldn't have been a couple degrees above zero, and I think we would have gotten slammed.

martmeister Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I've heard about the snow storms. Here, we got...rain. No, not freezing rain, hail-mixture or anything; just plain rain (mainly Spain). But on the upside, it is upper 50s; I just wish it'd stay this way.

Jeff Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 We barely got anything, so unfortunately school was in today. I think the storms just missed our county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samnmax221 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 We're gearing up for the first real blizzard we've had in 3 years, supposed to get 2 feet of snow over the next 2 days, so I'm looking at a 4 day weekend. If that doesn't work Plan: B involves everyone turning on all their lights and appliances and attempting to cause a blackout. EDIT: Well now.
